Pastry, choux, cooked, homemade

Choux pastry is a pastry made by cooking a mixture of flour, water and fat before adding eggs and baking. The figures here describe cooked, homemade choux pastry based on a recipe. It mainly provides carbohydrate and fat, with some protein. Per 100g, it contains 31g of carbohydrate, 18g of fat, including 5.8g of saturated fat, and 8.4g of protein.

Carbohydrate and fat provide energy, while protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. The saturated fat content is worth noting for people monitoring their intake. Fillings and toppings can change the overall nutrient content, so these pastry figures may not reflect a finished dessert. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
